Engineers (typically) don't dig holes themselves, engineers decide where the holes are to be dug, based on laws.

  Software engineer is a fancy title but it often covers code monkeys who are more akin to the shovel guys. The guy who added the Booking.com fake flashing warnings that this room is being viewed by N people right now and other stuff (which the company got fined for) is not like some Engineer(TM) but just some web dev grunt. They can't be the one who shoulders the responsibility and indeed aren't.

      Yeah you can call a degree whatever you want. You could also call the excavator operator an excavator engineer. It doesn't change their power lever inside the org.

        > It doesn't change their power lever inside the org. help I'm confused how you ended up there. My original assertion was the engineers should know the law.
